Fevers.—A Gentleman of high character has :ent us for pubLcation the following, remedy tor Fevers of every kind. He, and others, tell us, that, it adminivered in the early stages of the disorder, the remedy generally proves successful : " Take a large handful of Centattria Nigra, or Black linapwood, by the country people called Hoo,e Snapper, or Hay Button ; boil it in a quart of water until reduced to a pint, strain it ,and divide it into three equnl parts. Give one dose to the patient, which may produce vomiting ; it so, delay the second do,e near an hour ; should that produce the same effect, delay the third Close for an hour and a half, which last is generally thought sufficient to effect a cure. Sleep is expected to be produced ; if the patient be weak, a glass of wine may he given now and then.”—(fraterford Chro , nide.) POETRY. Sr7NNET ON GOOD FRIDAY.

On the 29th of January, a bear was caught, and taken from its den, in Warwick Mountain, after a vigilant search of eight days, by a party of huntsmen from Warwick. The bear had taken shelter in a declivity of rocks of about forty feet deep. Attempts were first made to get hint out by smoking, &c. but without effect.—Dogs were then sent into the hole; but they either retreated at his terrific aspect, or were destroyed by his grasp. At length the huntsmen, finding all at tempt 3 to frighten him from his retreat fruitless, blew the rocks over the hole, and came within about 16 feet of the bear. These continued operations made him fierce and terrible. After the hole blown through the rock was sufficiently large to admit the body of a man, John Ward, jun. crept into it, placed lighted candles fixed upon the end of a pole towards the bear, and with a mus ket shot at hint, but without effect. lie descended the second time, and shot him in the fore legs ; the bear at each fire advanced towards the mouth of the hole, but Ward was not to be intimidated ; he descended again, and shot the ferocious beast in one eye. Ward was now drawn out, the bear fiercely following him ; he instantly seized a rifle from the hands of another huntsman, and dis charged its contents into the head of the animal, which proved fatal, lie measured six feet Iron: the nose to the end of the tail, and weighed 313 pounds.

This day, a t eight o'clock, Messrs. anti ARGUINBAU, the young Midshipmen who conducted themselves in so spit ited manner in the detection and arrest of the Smugglers at Deal, were brought to the Bar. Mr. ADOLPHUS was Counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Seljeant Osscow for the defendants. After a patLnt trial of seven hours, the defendants were honourably acquilted. In the course of an admirable Address to the Jury, which lasted nearly au hour and a half, Mr, Baron GRAHAM severely animadvet ted on the con. duct of the Sningglers of Deal, and on the (langur and criminal consequences of such codnet. We have not room to enter into a detail of the proceedings, but we have the pleasure to state, that the result was highly satisfactory to every part Of the audience, except perhaps to those who are interested in tolerating such violations of the Law as occasioned the ahrniing disturbances %vhich led to this pro.ecutiot►. So spirited and so laudable was the conduct of the Defendants deemed by tl►e People in general, that many persons shook bands wit►► them iu Court on their acquittal, and others as they after wards passed through the street at Maidstone, without their uniforms. CONSPIRACY TO MURDER A FAMILY IN NEW YORK.—WC extract the following diabolical rr ticul4rs now a:New York Journal of Saturday the 24(11 of Jawialy last : " A concurrence of circumstances has led to a discovery of an infernal conspiracy in this city, which has been marked by no oidinary 'cantles of atrocity. An Italian servant, in the employ of a respectable family, was dis missed by the master of the house for drun kenness. To revenge himself, he meditated, in concert with one of his countrymen, and the black female cook in the wine faintly, to carry their diabolical plot into effect. It appears that the after being dismissed, returned with his companion to the house the saute evening, and while in the kitchen with the cook, in conference, was overheard by the chambermaid, in explana tion of their plans. On the Warm being given, aid proper search !made, the two Italians were discovered and secured. The cook confessed that their pl>►n was to take advantage of the absence of the master of the house, who was about leaving town ; and that, in the evening, by a given signal, they were to be let into the house by her. Their design was to violate the females of the family, consisting of two ladies and two servant girls, and to murder them ; alter which, they intended to rob the house, set fire to it, and escape. The cook also confessed that she was to receive 130 dollars alter the plate bad been sold, and corroborated that part of the conspiracy which had been overheard by the maid.—The parties have all been ap prehended by Robert Phillips and A. Cocklin, constables of the seventh ward, and secured in Btidewell, and wi:l shortly be put on their trial. The discovery of this infernal design has prevented a terrible event, and will serve to operate as a cau tion to families in hiring foreign servants. These particulars have been related to us by the gentle man of the house." Some little carriages are said to be getting into use in Germany, which run witt►o►it horses. If the passengers in these are required to move any machinery, the invention is not a New one it was exhibited in England 40 years since; but it must have been much improved, if what the Paris Papers say be true, that one of these vehicles has gone from Dresden to Burin, a distance of four leagues, in an hour and a quarter. They are called Draisiennes, from a Baron DRAIS, of Carlsruhe, Who claims the invention, ‘Vednesday, about twelve o'clock, a mad dog entered the house of Mr. Maugs, the Jolly Tan ner, in George's -street, Bristol, and bit the son of Mr. Alaggs (a youth about 15) through the hand. The lad underwent a surgical operation immediately, and was alter dipped. It may not be amiss to observe, that a dug %vhich is rult mad will seldom enter a strange house, and it it does, it will run away immediately it spoken to harshly but a mad 'dog will enter any door he sees open, and it is with great difficulty he can be got out. Mr. J. Wilkinson, of Lenton, near Notting ham, has at this time an ox grazing ii► the open field, which at two years and a mo►►th old was of the enormous weight of 2 list: 21b. (London weight). This animal has had neither cake not• corn, and is as remarkable for the beawy of the carcass as the greatness of weight. In the Nisi Prius Court, at the late York As sizes, in a cause of damages for an assault, a. countryman, a friend of the plaintiff, gave a most clear and circumstantial evidence as to 311 the main facts. Just before he was quitting the box, the Learned Judge (Richards) asked him how old he thought the person assaulted might be ? The witness pertinaciously avoided giving any in formation on this head. Is he twenty, thirty, forty, said the Judge. The witness still persisted that he could not tell. At length the Judge said ; now, in all probability, you have never before seen me ; nor I you, yet I think I could term a pretty correct guess at your age. " Very likely," replied the holiest cottony - man, " but you are a better Judge than 11 am !" The Learned Baron, and the whole Court, were convulsed with laugh ter, while the witness stood amazed at being the unconscious cause of all the mirth. At length the Judge resumed, and having no further ques tions to put, said, " Good morning, my friend." The witness withdrew from the box, but, to the infinite amazement of the Court, thinking he had. not quite properly behaved, quickly resumed his place , and significantly said, " Good morning, ~~..,;1 l,ii I CU me' Gig I 1 0 ac , )01 0 ood _ id, ap e de e :i"C Its' rge nit ne a ost ex' list rk: tt~Q icti ch big og fol 01 !31
